Leap Of Faith

36 8 5
                                    

Dangling on the edge of the cliff, 

I want to jump,

I want to take my next leap of faith,

And plunge into the icy depths below,

Yet something pulls me back,

The fear of the agony that would course through my veins,

As I'd hit the bottom,

Shakes the core of my bones,

I want to go,

I want to end my misery,

But I don't know how much it will hurt,

Or how long it will hurt for,

And a part of me doesn't want to find out,

A cool breeze tickles the back of my neck,

The hairs on my arms stand on end,

My end is peaceful,

Nobody about for miles,

Nobody to stop me,

So why do I hesitate?

The constant nagging in my brain tires me,

It shrieks piercingly of the pain to come,

For once, the headache shadows my other problems,

The problems that have drove me to the end of this cliff,

One step,

That's all it will take,

I must take a leap of faith,

And leave my heartbroken life behind,

The pain has to be better than the agony I'm already suffering,

I just have to take a leap of faith,

literally...
